1) One oddity from my collection is the band Fresh, a ‘boy band’ constructed by Simon Napier-Bell. Simon Napier-Bell had been a manager for The Yardbirds way back in the mid 1960’s, he went onto manage an early Marc Bolan outfit called Johns Children.

The roots of the pack trace back to 2006 when the girls started taking dance lessons at the same dancing school and quickly struck a friendship that led them to form their own dance group, at the time still nameless. Soon they took their mix of street dance, jumpstyle and their own moves to the local stages, performing at clubs, schools, dance competitions, and when the mood took them, right there on the street, entertaining the stunned...

Pretty Balanced played from Nov 2004 to Feb 2010. For the last nine months of their existence, they were known as The Alphabet.

On the band's website, Shimer says "it was a long time coming;...
